Women also are more involved in the sexual assault of children than most people realize, but they are extremely underreported (due to patriarchal biases in our society, largely). Men still commit more offenses, but patriarchy is a double-edged sword in that it causes more women to be victimized and also protects female perpetrators of violence from punishment.
That said, men still commit much more violent crime and we should do better as a society to prevent that through social programs, education, etc.
If the cause of most crime is related to the perception of a resource's scarcity, we should: a. Identify what resource is scarce in the lives of men. b. Cause men's perception of the resource's scarcity to change, which does not necessarily mean restoring or replacing the resource.
I read it as the crimes being a resource lol.
It's all going to boil down to the patriarchy, which ties back to systems of control. The "loneliness epidemic" is entirely self inflicted
